1903 CHECK Jacksonville FL THE FLORIDA NATIONAL BANK draft printer’s specimen
PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING: I sell ORIGINAL items ONLY and NOT ANY reproductions.This sale is for ONE unused, rare SPECIMEN BANK CHECK ( OR DRAFT .. whatever you’d like to call it ),it is in very good condition with two very tiny pinholes, slight toning on the back, and isfor theFLORIDA NATIONAL BANK ofJACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA during the year of 1903. THIS CHECK WAS LITHOGRAPHED by, and came from the historical archive of, the historical Texas printing company called CLARKE & COURTS ( in GALVESTON, TEXAS ). I think they first started printing in Texas during the 1850’s. The “EBAY ITEM” thing is just a loose piece of paper that is not attached to the check/draft. HISTORICAL NOTES:CLARKE AND COURTS PRINTING…. Clarke and Courts Printing, with original headquarters in Galveston, was in business in Texas for over 100 years. Until the 1930s the company was the largest printing and lithography company in the region. It produced forms for state and local governments throughout Texas, for businesses, banks, and railroads, in addition to wedding invitations, stationery, and blank books. It also sold office furniture. Clarke and Courts developed from M. Strickland and Company, Printers, Lithographers and Blank Book Manufacturers, organized at Galveston by Miles Strickland in 1857. Strickland moved his printing press to Houston during the Civil War but subsequently returned to Galveston. After the war Samuel Burke, an expert printer, became a partner in the business, and a bindery was added to the plant. After Robert Clarke purchased Burke’s interest in the firm in 1870, the business came to be known as Strickland and Clarke. Known for its quality work, the company received a first prize at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition for its blank-book business in 1876. George M. Courts, who had previously handled stationery for the Thompson Drug Company, purchased Strickland’s interest, and in 1877 the two printers brought the first lithograph press in the state to Galveston, along with a crew to operate it. Clarke and Courts dates its origins to the partnership formed by the two men in 1879, in which Clarke managed the printing aspects of the business while Courts supervised the rest.Traveling salesmen for Clarke and Courts marketed its products throughout Texas, western Louisiana, New Mexico, Mississippi, Florida, Arizona Territory, Arizona and Mexico. In the 1880s the firm’s employees numbered between seventy-five and 100. In 1887, when the company won a blue ribbon at the State Fair of Texas, it incorporated as Clarke and Courts. By 1890 the firm had completed its office on the Strand in Galveston, designed by Nicholas J. Clayton, as well as a plant and warehouse. The office came to be known as the “Texas House.” In 1902 the firm subscribed $5,000 for seawall bonds to protect the city after the devastation of the Galveston hurricane of 1900, which damaged the company’s building and killed its head bookkeeper. Clarke and Courts printed the first newspapers after the disaster. In 1907 the firm installed the first offset press west of the Mississippi; thus began the company policy of acquiring every innovation in printing machinery as soon as it appeared and limiting the competition by refusing to sell old equipment. Eventually, Clarke and Courts offered customers an array of services ranging from printing, electrotyping, stereotyping, and book-binding to box-manufacturing, lithographing, and zinc-engraving. Among its numerous printing projects was the printing of San Antonio city directories. In 1936, when the company renewed its charter and moved its headquarters to Houston, its service extended to customers in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, Mexico, and Cuba. By 1976 Clarke and Courts operated plants in Galveston, Harlingen, and Houston, but faced growing computerization in the industry. The business closed in 1989. In 1994, as part of its rehabilitation and revitalization program, the city of Galveston planned to convert the Texas House into a residential building known as the Strand Lofts and did so.If you have any questions, please contact me.TERMS & CONDITIONS:Payment to EBAY upon purchase.

1903 Metropolitan Life Insurance Annual Report Magazine At The Sea Shore
I am not entirely sure what to call this piece. Annual report, magazine or financial statement. Might be a regional piece — with just Illinois stats on inside cover. It has a wonderful graphic on the cover. I have a large inventory of vintage paper: auto manuals, military paper, railroad stuff, food and recipe paper, political pamphlets, oddball magazines, entertainment paper — just about any paper you can think of. Some of it is in perfect shape and some is in rough condition. Things to look out for in the photos are page yellowing, corner bumping, rips and tears, handwriting, etc. — normal flaws in old paper. Closely check the photos out and get back to me if you have any questions. Please bookmark me and check back once in awhile for more fun paper. Please read FAQs: 1. Yes. I combine shipping. If this is an auction, please wait for an invoice to pay. If this is a Buy It Now listing, please put the items in one cart and pay. I will then adjust the shipping fees when I pack up the items. 2. When I photograph paper item, the first two photos are usually the front and back covers next to a ruler. This is how you can determine the size. Please check this before asking what size the booklet or catalog is. I also try to shoot a photo of the last numbered page in the item so you can know how many pages there are. If it appears to be a single page booklet or foldout. —- and not a 100 page item —- it probably is a single page booklet or foldout. 3. Carefully examine my studio-quality photographs. I do my best to document any flaws or issues. I tend to go overboard in showing flaws. I hate surprises when I buy on eBay as much as you do. I also do my best to accurately describe the items I find. 4. I basically sell “As Is.” That said, I will accept returns if I have been negligent in my listing information. This includes outright mistakes, misrepresentations, or any errors on my part. I do not know everything about everything (don’t tell my kids that please). If you are not sure about something and want to “try it out” at home before having “Buyer’s remorse,” please do not bid. Every auction or estate sale I go to is “as is.” I do better than that with my return policy. I mess up once in a while and I have honored all legitimate returns. Please respect this policy. 5. If there is a problem please contact me directly before going through the Ebay refund system. It will save a lot of time and money for both of us.
